#We love an unexpectedly capable Gavin and we love the crew appreciating him

[somegrumpynerd]

Gavin sometimes gets sent on hitman-esque missions, long trips where he has to infiltrate a location to assassinate someone and get out undetected. Despite his goofy nature and unpredictable aim, he’s shockingly capable at killing people silently when left to his own devices, it never fails to surprise and impress others. Of course going undercover means he needs to go alone, it’s easy to disguise one member of the Fakes but not so much two or three. It makes these jobs lonelier, especially when they last days at a time, but they’re some of Gavin’s favourites simply because of how the rest of the crew get.

As soon as he’s out of the house everyone seems to get needy for his company. It’s not like they aren’t used to being without him - much like Matt he often disappears into their little hacking den for hours at a time, and nobody seems to bat an eye then. But almost every time he returns to his safehouse from scouting an area or meeting a target he’ll have so many texts from the rest of the crew, all sending him pictures and questions and jokes. When he gets home from these missions he gets so much attention too - pulled into hugs and onto the couch for games, Jeremy even lifted him up and carried him around for a bit once out of excitement.

He does wonder if it’s because they all think he’s gonna mess up and get himself killed on these missions (which is fair, he supposes, but still rude) or if they genuinely just miss him when he’s out of arm’s reach. Either way, Gav’s happy to take the affection when it comes.
